Yeah...Galaxy S. The screen on this thing is awesome! Getting used to having a phone that does stuff! LOL

I've used the TSN App on my iPod Touch...I prefer it to Score/Sportsnet...but I guess I'll have to go with them for now.

Finally eligible today, how is that working out for you?

I like it a lot...maybe it doesn't do EVERYTHING an iPhone does...but the screen is awesome...and it's serving my purposes rather nicely. the SWYPE feature for typing is really cool. takes some getting used to...but I like it.

my brother just paid $300 to upgrade to the bionic - and despite spending that much money he still seems happy with it - anyone else have it?

RIP Steve Jobs, and a little fact, if you right click the image of Steve Jobs on the Apple.com homepage, Apple uploaded it to the site under the file name hero.png

Cool, I'm trying to decide between that, the Atrix or the i4

I have it and love it. Like Rise said though Galaxy Nexus is going to be a beast once its out.

Pre ordered the iPhone 4s today, pretty excited for it. Apple made some huge internal improvements in it.

Same here, was hoping for an iPhone 5 but I'll settle for the 4S. Hope it lives up to the expectations, I've been happy with my iPods so far so time will tell!

I have had one from day one and I love it! I have looked at the Nexus but could not give up the Moto software.

[Tailboard Jockey 25]

Well, somebody else is not happy about the iPhone 4S.

[MatthewRoach7 130]

I saw this video the other day. I loved it. Fits perfect!

[goaliemanshark 6]

The phone 4S is a pathetic improvement. Especially if you're on a CDMA carrier. Luckily I'm not, so atleast I'll get some more speed. But a new camera and a new processor is barely an improvement in today's standard.

Siri looks cool, but they should include that with iOS 5, because there is no extra hardware needed for it. Just apple trying to make people buy more phones.

Now I have a deal with my parents that I upgrade phones and they get my old ones. So I preordered my iPhone 4S yesterday as well.

I would never buy it personally, if I am stuck for 2 years with a phone it better be dualcore and 4g.

Exactly. Nice to see Apple putting January's technology into their new phone.

it doesn't matter what hardware they use, they will sell the hell out of them.

You do realize that it is dual core and 4g?

A5 chip is dual core and on ATT its just as fast as other "4g" phones.

Wasn't referring to the hardware specifically. But yes that too I suppose. And yes, people will come out in waves to buy the latest and greatest iPhone regardless of the specs.

[Blueandgold26 1]

Apple hit the nail on the head with the iPhone 4, except the antenna issues. Fixed the antenna, better camera, faster processor/graphics, siri, and ios 5. I'm happy with it.

[goaliemanshark 6]

How do know they fixed the antenna issue? iOS 5 will run on the iPhone 4. Siri should run on the iPhone 4 as well, but it doesn't because apple is greedy.

4s is total failure compared to the rest of the industry. Open your eyes apple fan boys. Regardless, mine will be here on the 14th :)

I think the disappointment is a bit like the stock market. Rumors get out for months, people begin to assume they're real, then they feel let down when not all the rumors come true. Of the major rumors on the iPhone, it didn't have a different appearance -- Who cares?!? Many people use cases. -- it didn't have 4G, and it was't called i5. Since functionality is the only thing that matters, not looks, i'm going to discount the need for a new appearance and say the only major rumor that fell through was 4G capability.

I likely will wait for that to come out, but it still seems like a solid computer to wear on one's hip.

[Joshison 1]

ATT its just as fast as other "4g" phones.

Disagree. And I'm aware none of them are TRUE 4G hence your quotations.

[goaliemanshark 6]

Way to take my quote out of context.

On the att GSM network the iPhone 4s runs just as fast as the other AT&T phones they call 4g. Such as the atrix 4g.

Doesn't make any of them 4g
